PereƩ Aug 9, Wednesday,
Drift a boat was taken of along the
Chancellies to collect at the Grand Coupe.
Found quite a number of bryozoa and
corals in the Ordovician beds. The strata
stand true as follows:

dip: Ordiverian = Richmond
Ordiverian
Vertical beds of Lilliasian
with fossils. (? Dalhousie)
bed
Bevel of Malbari.
Borden went down the beach the other
(Smith)
way to collect Orstany fossils but saw
nothing of value, Cauda fallii in abundance.
Packed two boxes in the afternoon
and addressed them to Charles Clervaut
Dalhousie. Mr. Beard will ship them
tomorrow by the Lady Eileen.
Spent an hour at the splendid home
of Mr. and Mrs. James.
